Don't get burnt out, though. Lot's of people go apeshit on it for a year or two, and then stop playing for the rest of their lives. This is something that can go with you well into old age, if you let it.

That is one huge reason I picked it up again. I can spend money on a lot of things and a lot of hobbies but so many of them are only relevant now. When it comes to guitar this is something I can do til the day I die.

My grandpa had an old Gibson (that my uncle sold for an insurance payment heh) from the 50s and he played it from the day he got it well into his 70s or 80s before Alzheimer's took hold.
